I don't consume (eat) much meat.

Consumo mucha electricidad con el aire acondicionado.

I use a lot of electricity with the air conditioning.

The 'I' form

In the present tense, 'consumo' specifically means 'I consume.' You don't need to say 'yo' because the ending '-o' already tells us you're talking about yourself.

The accent mark trap

Mistake: “Writing 'consumó' when you mean 'I consume'.”

Correction: Consumo (no accent) means 'I consume' (now). Consumió or Consumó means 'he/she/it consumed' (past). Pay attention to that last letter!
